Expect to see your OBGYN on a regular basis during pregnancy. Use this time to find out your physician’s thoughts about issues that are important to you, such as the routine use of interventions like IVs, continuous electronic fetal monitoring, and episiotomies.

What’s the Difference Between an OBGYN and a GYN?

Gynecologists (GYN) offer preventive reproductive health care and treat diseases, while obstetricians/gynecologists (OB/GYN) deliver babies and care for mother and baby after the delivery.

Both OBGYNs and GYNs are gynecologists and can provide diagnosis and treatment for conditions of the female reproductive and urinary systems, including the uterus, vagina, ovaries and cervix. However, OBGYNS also provide personalized treatment for women in every stage of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
